ok guys :p i need your help here, this week wensday the big cataclysm patch is being released and that will completely destroy the rest of my months cap, is it possible for someone propably with uncaped with a fast line. to upload it on torrent.diginova.com so i can download it on local cap.
 
web africa's local gaming site had the previous +-5gb patches, so it should be up there for grabs on local cap :)
 
if you have the 4.0.3 patch, then you'll have most of the data needed for 4.0.3a, 4.0.3 was basically just a huge data mine for 4.0.3a, which is the switch. also, if someone was to upload the patch for you. they'd need to upload their whole data folder which is pretty damn big...
 
you cant "download" the patch , it uses streaming downloading which patch into your data files.

axxess lite is R19 a gig, should still have money in your pocket left for few gigs from them :)
 
This expansion is a killer on our bandwidth :S

I wonder if the CD/DVD will have all the patches? Would be bad to start playing WoW just to kill your cap before you can play :p
 
I got an uncapped account just for getting patches :) Well, it has seemed so over the last couple of months :p Recently (last week) downloaded 1.1 gigs so doubt this Wed will nearly as big.

Yup, we always sit with people missing on patch days (big patches like 4.0.1). Kinda annoying as it is on raid reset days >.<

You're kidding right, do you actually think the servers are going to be raida-able?:P
 
Yup the servers are going to be like election day. Long queues and lots of waiting.
I think if you are up to date you should have most of the cataclysm content already, the vast majority of the changes happen for everyone and I think there is probably another 700MB that you need above and beyond the new base install (Classic WoW patched up to date).
If you feel like getting up at 2AM to play on 7 December then you should get in OK, but if you wait till that evening or the next weekend then expect to see queues.

Has anybody tried to just copy the updated files instead of the whole data directory? I think mine something like 25gig
 
The majority of this patch has been available for over a week and the Cata data even longer. And 4.0.3a won't be a big download at all, it is all there already, if you are playing live at the moment.

For the Cata data just follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure World of Warcraft and/or the launcher and background downloader are completely closed.
2. Open up your World of Warcraft folder.
3. Open Launcher.wtf in Notepad and change the "accountType" line from LK to CT.
4. Open Config.wtf in Notepad and change the "accountType" line from LK to CT.
